HEAR THE FACULTY. 

The editor of the best medical periodical in England, the 
" Medico-Chirurgical Review and Journal of Practical Med- 
icine," speaking in the name of his professional brethren, 
gives effervescent "saline medicines" the preference over 
all others, because they open the secretory organs — as the 
skin, the liver, and the kidneys, — besides improving the 
condition of the blood, and restraining febrile action in the 
constitution. It is for these sufficient reasons that physi- 
cians everywhere are prescribing 




In fevers, bilious disorders, stomach complaints, and all 
diseases in which it is desirable to restore and regulate the 
interrupted functions of the digestive and discharging or- 
gans, without creating irritation, or giving the system a 
violent shock. The elements of disease can be expelled by 
evaporation from the surface, as well as through the intes- 
tines, and this preparation is at once a purgative and sud<i- 
rific. Nine-tenths of the ordinary complaints to which 
children and adults are subject may be cured, by a few 
draughts of this sparkling and refreshing corrective.

TO THE READER. 

Some may think it entirely nnneoessary to make any 
remarks by way of introduction to a work of this na- 
ture ; but when the multitude of Guide-Books, Hand- 
Books, and Directories is considered, we feel justified 
in simply stating the " wherefore" which calls this 
work into existenr.e. To the descriptions of New York 
and vicinity which have already been published, it has 
been justly objected that they contain mere descriptions 
of buildings, etc., which fail to arrest the attention or 
impart that information which books of this character 
are expected to afford. To remedy these and other ob- 
jections, this work has been compiled with great care, 
as to noting every object of interest in and about New 
York, giving "correct information" in detail, and com- 
bining, what seems to be a great want, " business with 
pleasure." To strangers, therefore, visiting New York, 
this work is intended as a correct guide to all places of 
interest and amusement ; also as a guide to ladies and 
gentlemen in the purchase of goods. They will find 
the location of almost every kind of business in the ad- 
vertising pages ; and the stores there indicated are of 
the most reliable character, as we have allowed only 
those of the best standing to use our work as an adver- 
tising medium. 

We have also thought it proper to incorporate in this 
work a Guide to the Hudson River, Saratoga, and Lake 
George, which we feel assured will prove of interest to 
the citizen and stranger. 

We also wish it distinctly understood that the Com- 
piler has not hesitated to gather the materials for this 
work wherever he could find them, availing himself in 
the freest manner, not only of the researches of others, 
but even of their very langiage, whenever it happened 
to suit his purpc'se.

NEWTOEK. 

The Island of Manhattan was discovered by 
Henry Hndson in 1609, and settled by immigrants 
from Holland in 1614. The West India Company 
in 1626 purchased the entire island, containing 
22,000 acres, from the Indians, for sixty guilders, 
or twenty-four dollars. From its earliest period, 
the then called " Nieuw Amsterdam " had a 
varied history. The English regarded it as a 
valuable acquisition, and took it from the Dutch 
in 1664, who succeeded, however, in recovering 
it in 1676. -About one year thereafter it was 
ceded again to the British, and received the name 
of New York, in honor of James, Duke of York. 
In 1666 the city contained two hundred houses 
and about one thousand inhabitants. From that 
early period to the present it has made great 
progress in buildings, population, and govern- 
mental arrangements. 

The present population of the city is about 
one million. New York is the largest and most 
wealthy city on this Continent. Its commercial 
relations extend to the " uttermost parts of the 
earth."

northern portion is twelve miles, with an average 
width of two miles. The streets and avenues 
above Fourteenth street run at right angles. A 
fine view of New York and vicinity may be had 
from Trinity Church steeple. 

New York possesses very many buildings, both 
public and private, of rare beauty and elegance, 
together with the parks, places of amusement, 
churches, hotels, &c., to which we hasten to invite 
attention. 

OENTEAL PARK. 

There is probably no place on the Island of 
Manhattan of equal interest to the stranger or 
citizen with Central Park. In 1858 work was 
commenced on it, and in about one year it was 
thrown open to the public. Up to the present 
time, ten million dollars have been expended upon 
it. It contains eight hundred and fifty acres, is 
two and a half miles long, and half a mile wide : 
extending from Fifty-ninth to One Hundred and 
Tenth street, and from Fifth to Eighth avenue. 
It is, with three exceptions, the largest park in 
the world. It has over nine miles of carriage- 
drive and twenty-five miles of walk. Three 
hundred and ten thousand trees and shrubs have 
been planted, and workmen are constantly em- 
ployed in improving and planting flowers, shrub- 
bery, &c. There are about thirty-four archways 
and bridges of great variety and exquisite beauty, 
no two being alike. The Terrace is the leading 



24 



arcliitectural structure. This is ct the end of 
the Mall on the north. Below it is the Espla- 
nade, with a beautiful fountain in the centre. 
There is so much beauty in the Park, and in 
such great variety, that it is impossible within 
the limits of this work to mention it in detail 
It possesses all that is picturesque, — lake, stream, 
hill, valley, rock, plain and slope. During the 
skating season great numbers frequent the Park, 
as the lakes are free to all. When the ice is 
in good condition, a red ball is hoisted on the 
Arsenal building, (within the Park,) and the city 
cars, running to the Park, indicate by small flags 
when the skating is good. 

At the gates of the Park are to be found 
carriages for hire. Not being under the control 
of the Park Commissioners, they are not respon- 
sible for their regulation or charges. The great 
attractions of the Park are only to be seen by 
taking the foot-paths. Throughout the Park are 
to be found the police, dressed in gray suits, who 
are required to give any information about the 
Park to visitors, and to preserve order. 

The Park may be reached by the Sixth, Seventh 
and Eighth avenue cars, also by the Central 
Park, North and East Eiver Eailroads, either 
division, up West or South streets. None of 
the stages run within seventeen blocks of the 
Park. The above are the only lines of cars that 
run to the Park gates. Some other lines adver- 
tise to run there, whereas they do not run within 
a half a mile of it.

THE BATTEEY. 

This once beautiful promenade of the fashion 
and elite of New York has been converted into a 
landing place for immigrants and the rendezvous 
for immigrant runners, thieves, pickpockets and 
ruffians of "the baser sort." Originally it way 
a delightful retreat in the summer time for 
pleasure seekers, who sought the fresh sea-air 
under the" shade of its stately trees. Connected 
with it is Castle Garden, originally a fortification, 
but now used by the Commissioner of Emigration. 
The beauty and glory of both have departed. 

CITY HALL PAEK. 

This also has lost its attractions. Within its 
enclosure is the City Hall, Hall of Records, New 
Court House, Rotunda, Old Court House, Foun- 
tain and statue of what is intended to represent 
De Witt Clinton. It is supposed that a new 
Post Office building will be erected on the 
southern portion of this Park. 

ST. JOHN'S PAEK 

Is located between Laight, Yarick and Hudson 
streets. Private property. 

WASHINGTON SQUAEE.

It contains about ten acres, and is beautifully

Great Improvement in Writing-Pens.

This immense building, now in process of con- 
struction, is situated in the rear of the City Hall, 
on Chamber street, and will be, when completed, 
one of the most substantial edifices in the United

two hundred and fifty feet, and the breadth one 
hundred and fifty; rectangular in form, and three 
stories in height, above ground. From the base 
course to the top of pediment, is ninety-seven feet.

an tptirely fire-proof building. 

The court-rooms are large, airy, and unob- 
structed by columns, made with reference to 
the principles of acoustics, and finished in an 
agreeable and pleasing manner; so that they 
form an attractive feature to the spectator, and 
all to whom may be intrusted the administration 
of justice.

from the surrounding abodes of vice and poverty 
and provided with good homes. In 1857 Mr.

be found kind looks, affectionate words, earnest 
entreaty and wholesome advice. A Home whose

divine aid, the allurements of sin, and prove by 
their future lives the sincerity of their efforts.

their means of intellectual enjoyment and there 
can be no greater ornaments to a city than those 
literary and educational institutions which, spring- 
ing from, and supported by, the people, are adapted 
to the public wants. It matters not whether the 
buildings are of brick, costly marble, or " plain 
rooms," their object consecrates and invests them 
with a host of pleasing associations. We espe- 
cially allude to the many libraries located in vari- 
ous parts of our city, which are worthy to be 
compared with those of foreign countries as to 
the rare and valuable collections which they con- 
tain. Nearly all of these Libraries are accessible 
to strangers. A visit to these noble institutions, 
with their rich collection of books, will become a 
necessity to all who have any love for literature 
and art.

Sales Room, 20 Jolin Street, 



The above fii'in are undoubtedly manufacturing at the present 
time the most DURABLE, as well as in other respects the most de- 
sirable Spoons and Forks in the market. They have succeeded in 
producing in Electro Plate all that softness and delicacy of finish, here- 
tofore supposed to be peculiar to solid silver alone, and the most care- 
ful scrutiny cannot detect that their goods are not solid work. They 
are plated with pure silver on the finest quality' of nickel silver, and 
the weight of plate is subjected to such careful tests that the firm 
make a standing offer of $1000 for proof that any article of their 
manufacture and bearing their trade-mark is of a lower grade than 
that indicated by the stamp upon the back. 

This firm also manufacture Dinner and Tea Services of the most 
reliable quality and beautiful design. Church Communion Ware, 
chaste, elegant and durable, is another specialty of the house. 

A visit to their Works, No. 40 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, or their 
Sales Room, No. 20 John Street, New York, could not fail to be en- 
tertaining, instructive, and perhaps profitable to the visitor in the

NEWSPAPEES. 

The achievements of the last fifty years have 
been such that no local or temporary interest can 
satisfy the mind; everything is conducted on a 
grand scale. The extension of education, the 
progress of science, the facilities of communica- 
tion and intercourse between nations, and, above 
all, the freedom of the Press, and its consequent 
wide and rapid circulation of news, has served to 
produce this extent of thought and purpose. In 
the United States the Press is supremely import- 
ant. The activity and power of the Newspaper 
Press of the United States date their origin from 
the Revolutionary war. Previous to that event 
they were few in number, and barren of that 
interest, vigor and originality, so important a 
feature in those of the present day. Great 
Britain and the United Colonies having deter- 
mined to settle their dispute by arms, both 
appealed to the people. Each had their parti- 
sans; but there were many independent or 
indifferent persons, whose support was valuable. 
Then it was the Press entered into the strife, and 
assumed that direction of public opinion which 
has continued ever since, and formed so remark- 
able a feature in modern political history.

There are about sixteen daily papers published 
in this city, the principal ones of which are — 
Journal of Commerce, Transcript,

There are also one hundred and twenty weekly

HOTELS. 

New York is justly noted for the number and 
elegance of its Hotels. There are about thirty 
of these magnificent establishments on Broadway. 
To the leading ones in the city will we direct 
attention. 

Astor House. 

This colossal edifice, located on Broadway, be- 
tween Vesey and Barclay streets, was erected in 
1836. It is built of solid granife, in the Doric 
order, with a front on Broadway of one hundred and 
eighty feet, and a depth of one hundred and twenty, 
of five stories high, at a cost of six hundred thou- 
sand dollars. It has accommodations for seven 



87 



hundred guests. The Astor is the oldest of our 
first-class Hotels, and, since it was opened, has 
well sustained its high reputation 

St. Nicholas. 
This monument of architectural beauty is lo- 
cated corner of Broadway and Spring street. It 
is built of marble, in the Corinthian order, six 
stories high, two hundred feet front on Broadway, 
with a facade of surpassing elegance. It contains 
six hundred rooms, and can accommodate one 
thousand guests. The appointments in the St. 
Nicholas are without a fault ; every thing being 
gotten up with a splendor and sumptuousness un- 
equalled. Building erected in 1854, at a cost of 
one million dollars. As a security against fire, 
the whole establishment can be deluged with water 
in five minutes. 

Metropolitan 

Is situated on Broadway, corner of Prince street. 
This palatial structure, of brown stone, six stories 
high, was erected in 1850, at a cost of nine hun- 
dred thousand dollars. It is furnished throughout 
in the most splendid and expensive style, having 
all the accommodations and conveniences that 
the most luxurious taste could desire. Has about 
seven hundred rooms, and can accommodate one 
thousand guests.

riftli Avenue. 
This immense establishment, of white marble, 
located on Fifth avenue, opposite Madison square, 
occupies one of the finest sites in New York. It 
was erected by Mr. Paran Stevens, the well-l^nown 
hotel proprietor, in 1858, at a cost of nine hundred 
thousand dollars. It is furnished throughout with 
an elegance and sumptuousness unequalled by any 
Hotel on this continent, and all its internal appoint- 
ments and conveniences are unsurpassed. Has ac- 
commodations for eight hundred guests. All the 
rooms are well lighted and ventilated, and ready 
access may be obtained by a perpendicular rail- 
way, intersecting each story, in addition to the 
broad and capacious corridors and stairways, in- 
dependent of the ordinary and usual approaches 
from floor to floor. 

Hoffman House. 

This is another elegant establishment, built of 
white marble, located on the corner of Broadway 
and Twenty-Fifth street, immediately opposite 
Madison Square. It is conducted on the Euro- 
pean plan, and has excellent accommodations for 
about four hundred guests. 

Its location is in the aristocratic portion of the 
city, and is central for all of the Eastern and 
Northern Eailroads ; forming a most convenient 
and delightful stopping place for travellers, while 
the beautiful grounds opposite render it an attrac-

tive feature to all who have the pleasure of 
being its guests 

Southern Hotel, formerly the Lafarge. 

This popular house is situated on Broadway, 
opposite Bond street. It is constructed of white 
marble, with a frontage of two hundred feet, seven 
stories high, and completed in 1856 at a cost of 
$500,000. Has fine accommodations for six hun- 
dred guests. 

The reputation of the Southern can be estimated 
by the fact that its " list " is always full. Those who 
may be so fortunate as to select this hotel during 
their residence in the city, will find its kind and 
courteous proprietor ever ready to contribute to 
their comfort and enjoyment. 

New York Hotel 

Is one of our oldest first-class houses. The 
building, located on the finest part of Broadway, 
extending from Washington to Waverly Place, is 
of brick, five stories high, with a front of five 
hundred feet. It is most commodiously and com. 
fortably arranged for families and single persons, 
and is in the midst of elegant stores, and the most 
fashionable places of amusement. In its internal 
arrangements it is unsurpassed, and contains 
spacious accommodations for about four hundred 
guests. Messrs. Cranston & Hildreth are its pro- 
prietors, the former having been its worthy host 
for many years.

The Brevooii; House, 
On Fifth Avenue, corner of Eighth Street, is a 
noble and spacious Hotel, fitted up in elegant 
style, and being on the great avenue of fashion, 
commands a fine view of the heau monde. By a 
glance at the city map it will be seen that the cen- 
tral locality of this large and pleasant hotel secures 
a ready connection by railroad and stage with all 
the most desirable parts of the city from the Bat- 
tery to Central Park. 

The Everett House, 
Located on the North side of Union Square and 
Seventeenth Street, from its position is a conven- 
ient and delightful place to stop, being not only 
in the aristocratic part of the city, but also con- 
tiguous to the Cars, Omnibuses, Places of Amuse- 
ment, &c. The Everett has fine suites of apart- 
ments, as well as single rooms, with all the modern 
improvements and adornments of taste. 

St. Denis Hotel. 
Opposite Grace Church, and three blocks below 
Union Square, and the Academy of Music, is 
located the St. Denis. It is one among the very 
many handsome structures with which Broadway 
ig lined, and occupies 76 feet on that thorough- 
fare and 120 feet on Eleventh Street. The Hotel 
is situated upon the most fashionable part of 
Broadway, and is the resort of the wealthy both 
of town and country. It contains over 150 large 
and handsome rooms, and is kept on the European 
plan. Meals served at all hours.

MAEKETS. 
New York is not especially noted for its markets. 
There are quite a number of them, but none wor- 
thy of special notice. There is a large amount of 
h'»siness done in the 

Washington Market, 
Located on the square bounded by Fulton, 
Vesey, Washington and West streets. Here it 
is the produce from the Jersey shores and Long 
Island are offered for sale from the wagons of the 
farmer. In the spring of the year it is very inter- 
esting to see the large number of these wagons 
gathered about the streets contiguous to the 
market. 

Pulton Market, 
A poor, dilapidated concern, which occupies 
ground worth twenty times the value of the build- 
ing, is situated on the square bounded by Fulton, 
Beekman, South and Front streets. This market, 
together with Washington Market, is nothing but 
a mere shanty, a disgrace to the city. A splendid 
illustration of the manner in which the " City 
Fathers" look after the welfare of this great 

metropolis. 

• 

Tompkins Market. 
This market is the only one of any account, 
being a very fine iron structure, located on Third 
avenue, between Sixth and Seventh streets.

Jefferson Market, 
Corner of Sixth and Greenwich avenues. 

Catharine Market 

Occupies a square between Cherry, South and 
Catharine streets. 

Centre Market, 

This building is partially of brick, located on 
Centre, extending from Grand to Broome streets. 

Chelsea Market, 
Ninth avenue, near Eighteenth street. 

CEMETEEIES. 

The salutary effects of ornate and well-preserved 
cemeteries on the moral taste and general senti- 
ments of all classes, are a most valuable result, 
and seem to have been appreciated in all ages by 
all civilized nations. The Etruscans, the Egyp 
tians, the Greeks, the Romans, and in modern 
times the Turks, all illustrate not only their skill 
in the arts and their intellectual excellence, but 
also their social affections and refinements, and 
all the gentler characteristics, by a studied atten- 
tion to cemeteries for the dead. If we seek for 
authority more commanding in its influence, we 
may look to the patriarchs of Israel, who mani- 
fested a spirit of reverence and solicitude for the

burial places of their dead, more enlightened, but 
not less active or pervading. Let us have the 
*' field and the cave which is therein and all the 
trees which are in the field," and " that are in the 
borders round about, to be made sure for a pos- 
session of a burying-place." Aud there "Abra- 
ham buried Sarah his wife." 

Greenwood Cemetery. 

This beautiful resting-place of the dead is 
located on Long Island, about three miles from 
Fulton Ferry, or two and one half miles from 
South Ferry, from which points cars start for the 
cemetery direct every five minutes. 

The cemetery contains about 400 acres, and is 
of undulating and varied character. The principal 
avenue is named The Tour, and by keeping this 
strangers will secure the most favorable general 
view. Attention is called to the guide-boards in 
the grounds, which will enable them more easily 
to tread their way through the retired but not 
less beautiful passages within this solemn enclo- 
sure. There are so many beautiful monuments, 
tombs and ornamental lots, that it is impossible 
to call special attention to any. Suffice it to say, 
that the surface of the earth anywhere in the same 
space docs not contain so many memorials of 
such beauty and so varied in design, as are to be 
found placed over the remains of the 127,000 dead 
that have been laid at rest within this cemetery 
since 1838.

POLITENESS IN EAILEOAD OAES. 

The following Rules should be observed, to make travel- 
ling on Railroads comfortable : 

1. Always show your ticket (without getting" in 
a bad humor) whenever the conductor asks for 
it. Observe this rule, and it will pa^/. 

2. A gentleman should not occupy more than 
one seat at a time. 

3. Gentlemen will not spit tobacco juice in tlie 
cars where there are ladies ; it soils their skirts 
and dresses. 

4. Ladies without escort in travelling, should 
be very particular with whom they become ac- 
quainted. 

5. " If your lips would save from slips, 

Five things observe with care : 
Of whom you speak, — to whom you speak, — 
And how, — and when, — and where." 

6. Whenever you see a fellow over-anxious for 
your comfort, and pushing himself forward, say- 
ing, " Are you travelling alone ? — Allow me to," 
&c., &c. ; just say to him, " Thank you, sir, I re- 
quire no assistance." By observing this rule, 
ladies will often save themselves and others 
trouble. 

7. Ladies travelling with children should inva- 
riably have a basket of eatables ; a tumbler or 
goblet for the children to drink from, and keep 
the children in their seats. 

8. Keep your head and arms inside the windows. 

9. Never sit in a seat, in warm weather, with a 
man weighing 244 pounds. 

10. Always carry greenbacks instead of indi- 
vidual promises to pay.

11. Ladies who wear hoops should make them 
small before leaving home. 

12. Never let your bandbox, valise or cloak 
occupy a seat, when there is a rack for them ; it 
looks bad for you to occupy a whole seat when 
there are passengers standing without seats. 

13. Always be polite to everybody while travel- 
ling ; don't get in a bad humor. 

14. Never give information without being asked, 
then you will not be contradicted. 

15. When a lady enters the car, and there is no 
seat vacant, rise and proflfer yours, — it is true 
politeness. 

16. Never sit on the end of another person's 
seat with your back turned, talking to an oppo- 
site party ; — it is disagreeable to the one whose 
seat you are thus obtruding yourself on. 

17. Never smoke in a car where there are 
ladies — no gentleman would be guilty of such an 
act. 

18. Never use profane language in a railroad 
car. 

19. Never talk on politics in the cars ; — it is 
usually disagreeable to some of your fellow trav- 
ellers. 

20. Never talk loud while the train is in motion ; 
it may not annoy any one, but it will injure your 
lungs. 

21. Never sit beside a person who is hard of

people will talk.

TOUE OF THE HUDSON. 

It is fortunate, for the gratification and the cul- 
tivation of the public taste for the sublime and 
beautiful in natural scenery, when our great high- 
ways of travel chance to lead through such won- 
drous landscape as does the journey up the Hud- 
son River from New York to Troy. Even to the 
wearied or hurried traveller this voyage is ever 
one of pleasure, in its unique and constantly vary- 
ing attractions ; its thousand associations — legen- 
dary, historical, poetical and social. 

Every possible facility is now at command for 
the passage of the Hudson, either by the steamer 
or by railway, morning, noon, and night. The com- 
mercial traveller, thinking more of his destination 
than of the pleasures by the way, will take the 
Hudson River Railroad, which lies on the eastern 
bank of the river, kissing its waters continually, 
and ever and anon crossing wide bays and the 
mouths of tributary streams. The pleasure-seeking 
tourist, in quest of the picturesque, and with time 
to enjoy it, will assuredly go by water. 

Hudson River. 

This noble river, styled the Rhine of America, 
on account of its bold and picturesque scenery, 
was named after its discoverer, Hendrick Hudson. 
In the fall of 1607 this Dutch navigator, with his 
barque, the Half Moon, might have been seen as- 
cending its waters until he reached Albany. Its 



130 

source is in the mountain regions of the Adiron- 
dacks. Its entire extent is about three hundred 
miles; its navigable length, from New York to 
Troy, is one hundred and fifty miles. 

To the Hudson belongs the honor, not only of 
possessing the finest river steamers in the world^ 
bat of having home upon its waters the first 
steamboat which ever floated, when Robert Ful- 
ton ascended the river in the Clermont, in 1807, 
just two centuries after the first voyage of Hen- 
drick Hudson, in his good barque the Half Moon. 

There is very much of especial interest and at- 
traction to the traveller making a tour of the 
Hudson. Its waters are vocal with the hallowed 
reminiscences of our Revolutionary struggle, and 
along its banks linger memories of the noble and 
heroic deeds of our forefathers; its rocks and 
valleys are chronicled with the blood of the mar- 
tyrs of freedom. To make the journey as inter- 
esting and instructive as possible, we will note 
the leading towns and more important objects of 
interest. 

Supposing that we are accompanying the pleas- 
ure-seeker, and therefore have taken passage in one 
of the " floating palaces " which leave New York 
in the morning (which enables us to have a view 
of both sides of the river), we will first direct our 
attention to the 

Elysian Fields of Hoboken, 
On the western side, together with the preci- 



THE GREATEST NOVELTY OF THE AGE!

THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITE 

OR IMPROVED 

HANCOCK SEWING-MACHINE. 

Patented August 6, 1867. 

THE SIMPLEST, 
BEST AND CHEAPEST MACHINE IN THE WORLD. 

PRICE ONLY ^5.00. 



The need has long been felt of a Sewing-Machine that, while it 
should combine within itself the elements of beauty, simplicity, 
efficiency, and durability, should yet be sold at such a price as would 
place it within the reach of all. 

In the " UNIVERSAL FAVORITE," we present such a machine 
to the public, — confident that all who purchase will find it to 
meet every reasonable expectation. It requires no recommendation 
from us ; for wherever seen, its merits are instantly appreciated. It 
is established already as the " Ladies' Indispensable Companion." 
the " Poor Workingwoman's Friend," and the " Children's Special 
Institution;" while the cost — the important element in these days 
of high prices — is merely nominal. 

If it possesses no other merit, it is unequalled as a beautiful, use- 
ful, and appropriate gift for a little girl. Each machine is perfectly 
adjusted and packed in a small box, with full and complete instruc- 
tions how to use it. Orders per mail, accompanied with the above 
amount, will have prompt attention, and can be forwarded per Ex- 
press at trifling cost, to any place in the country.

pices of Weehawken, with its grave aud memories 
of the unfortunate Alexander Hamilton, who fell 
in the duel with Burr. 

The Palisades 

Next claim our attention. These grand bluffs, 
rising to the height of five hundred feet, follow in 
an unbroken line for a distance of twenty miles. 
The rock is trap, columnar in formation, like the 
famous Giants' Causeway in Ireland. 

Port Lee. 

Ten miles up the river and opposite One Hun- 
dred and Sixtieth street, New York. Some inter- 
esting memories of the Revolution are awakened 
here. The anxious thoughts of Washington turned 
to this point during that eventful period. A large 
force of Americans, in retreating from Fort Lee, 
were overpowered, and either slain or taken 
prisoners by a superior force of Hessian troops. 

Port Washington, 

Another spot of deep historical interest, lies 
opposite, on the eastern side. It fell into the 
hands of the British, November 16, 1776, and the 
garrison of 3,000 men became prisoners of war. 
Fort Washington is situated upon the highest 
part of Manhattan Island, between One Hundred 
and Eighty-first and One Hundred and Eighty-sixth 

streets. 
12 



134 

Tonkers, 
Seventeen miles up the river, eastevn side, is a 
beautiful and picturesque spot, with its magnifi. 
cent villas. In 1777 a naval action occurred in 
front of Yonkers, between the American and 
British forces. 

Ponthill. 

This " castle," which formerly belonged to Edwin 
Forrest, is just below Yonkers, and is now owned 
and occupied by the Eoman Catholic school of 
Mount St. Vincent. 

Hastings, 

Twenty miles from New York, on the eastern 
side, is a pleasant little village, in great favor with 
the citizens of New York, who eagerly seek 
homes amid its pleasant places. 

Dobb's Perry, 

Two miles beyond, and still upon the eastern 
bank of the river, is an ancient settlement. It 
derives its name from that of an old family, 
which once possessed the region and established 
a ferry. Eemains of Kevolutionary times still 
exist here. 

Irvington and "Sunny Side." 

This beautiful village, twenty-five miles from 
New York, is named after Washingtoi Irving,

whose unique little cottage, called Sunnyside, is 
close by upon the river bank, concealed from the 
view of the traveller by the dense growth of the 
surrounding trees and shrubbery. 

Piermont, 

Opposite, on the western bank of the river, is 
the outgrowth of the Erie Eailroad, which place 
was formerly its grand terminus. The river here 
is three miles wide, and the shores, particularly 
upon the west, are so varied and bold as to 
present pleasing and attractive pictures. 

Three miles back of Piermont is the town of 
Tappan, interesting as having been the head- 
quarters of Washington during the Revolution, 
and as the spot, also, where Major Andre was 
imprisoned and executed. The house of the 
commander-in-chief and the jail of the ill-fated 
officer are still in good preservation. The spot 
where Andre was executed (October 2, 1780) is 
a short distance from the jail, which is now occu- 
pied as a tavern, under the title of the " ''^6 Stone 
House." 

Nyao 
Is the next village above Piermont, on the same 
side of the river. Eed sandstone is quarried here 
in great quantities. 

Tarrytown. 
A very prosperous place, situated on the eastern 
shore, twenty-seven miles from New York. During 



137 

the Revolution Tarry town witnessed many stormy 
fights between marauding bands of both British 
and Americans. It was upon a spot near the 
Tillage that Major Andre was arrested while re- 
turning to the British lines, after a visit to General 
Arnold. A simple monument, an obelisk of granite, 
indicates the place. 

Sing Sing, 

On the right, or western bank of the river, 
thirty-three miles from New York, from its ele- 
vated position, presents an imposing aspect. The 
State Prison is located about three-quarters of a 
mile below the village, and is in full view from the 
river. The buildings are large structures, erected 
by the convicts themselves, with material from the 
marble and limestone quarries which abound here. 
The main edifice is four hundred and eighty-four 
feet long, forty-four feet wide, and five stories high, 
with cells for one thousand occupants. The whole 
area occupied by the establishment is one hundred 
and thirty acres of ground. 

The Croton enters the Hudson two miles above 
the village, where its artificial passage to the City 
of New York is begun. 

Haverstraw, 

Thirty-six miles up, is on the west side of the 
river. The manufacture of brick is carried on 
very extensively in this vicinity. We now touch 
upon sacred ground, as we re-enter amidst the

scenes of our Eevolutionary history, for in this 
vicinity is the famous battle-ground of 

Stony Point. 

The old light-house here, placed amidst the re- 
mains of the ancient fort, calls this scene to the 
notice of all passers. This fort fell into the hands 
of the enemy June 1, 1779. The Americans, how- 
ever, determined to regain their lost possession. 
General Wayne, who commanded the proposed 
assault, is reported to have said to General 
Washington, " General, I'll storm hell, if you will 
only plan it." He did storm Stony Point, on the 
night of July 15th, 1779, and the next day he 
wrote to his commander that the fort and garrison 
were his. 

Peekskill. 

We now enter upon the commencement of the 
magnificent scenery of the Highlands. On the 
opposite or western side of the river looms up the 
rugged front of the Dunderburg Mountain, with 
other grand cliffs and precipices. 

The village of Peekskill on the right, forty-three 
miles from New York, was named after John Peek, 
one of the early Dutch navigators, who mistook 
the creek, which comes into the river just above, 
f©r the continuation of the Hudson itself, and thus 
thinkiug himself at the end of his journey, ran his 
craft ashore and commenced his settlement. 



140 

Caldwell's Landing, 
At the foot of Dunderburg Mountain, is memo- 
rable for the search so seriously and actively made 
for the private treasure which the famous Captain 
Kidd is said to have secreted at the bottom of the 
river here. 

The Highlands, 
This grand mountain group through which the 
Hudson now makes its way, extends over an area 
of about twenty -five miles. The landscape which 
these noble heights present, is of unrivalled mag- 
nificence and beauty. Passing round the point 
of Dunderburg, we see the small but picturesque 
Buttermilk Falls, on the west side. In the heart 
of the Highland Pass, and just below West Point 
on the west side, is 

Cozzens, 
A spacious and elegant summer hotel, which 
comes most beautifully into the pictures of the 
vicinage. 

West Point, 
From the unrivalled charms of its scenery, and 
its position as the seat of the largest military 
school in the United States, is one of the most 
charming spots on the Hudson. It is replete 
with interest too, as the centre of the important 
interests and incidents connected with the days of 
the Revolution. The Military Academy is in full

view, occupying a noble plateau, 188 feet above 
the river. The remains of the old forts, Putnam 
and Clinton, together with the little glen called 
" Kosciusko's Garden," embellished with an obe- 
lisk erected to the memory of the noble Pc^le, are 
to be seen a short distance above the Academy. 
Near the steamboat landing may be seen the rock 
from which a chain was thrown across the river 
during the Revolution, to prevent the passage of 
the British vessels. 

West Point, in the Revolution, was the great 
key of the river, which Arnold, then in command 
of the fort, would have betrayed into the posses- 
sion of the enemy, but for the providential arrest 
of his co-plotter Andre, at Tarrytown below. The 
Military Academy was established by Congress 
in 1802, and is supported and controlled by the 
Government. West Point is fifty-two miles from 
New York. 

Cold Spring and "Undercliff," 
Which now command our attention, are little 
above, on the eastern side of the river. The West 
Point Iron Foundry is located here. Undercliff 
was the residence for many years of the late 
general and poet George P. Morris. It is scarcely 
possible to find a spot of sweeter natural attrac- 
tions than the site of Undercliff. 

Cornwall and "Idlewild," 
On the west side, come first to our reach. 



143 

Cornwall is a rugged and picturesque little place, 
on the lofty Highland terrace. " Idlewild," the 
romantic home of N. P. Willis, is a little north of 
the village. In its multiplicity of charms, it is a 
retreat which any poet might be content to enjoy. 

New "Windsor, 
On the western bank, just above Cornwall, is a 
place of historical interest. General Washington 
established his head-quarters here in 1779, and 
again in 1780. 

rishkm, 

On the eastern side of the river, sixty-one miles 
from New York, is a pleasant little village. The^ 
old village of Fishkill is situated about three miles 
east of the landing. Two miles northeast of the 
landing is the Yerplanck House, interesting as 
having once been the head-quarters of the Baron 
Steuben, and the place in which the famous Society 
of the Cincinnati was organized, in 1783. 

On the opposite side of the river is 

Newburgh, 
Noted also as the head-quarters of General 
Washington. The house which he occupied is 
the boast of the town. It is in full view from the 
river, situated a little below the village. It wa3 
here that the Revolutionary Army was finally dis- 
banded at the close of the war, June 23d, 1783.

145 

Hew Hamburg 
Comes next, on the eastern side. A i ttle town, 
near the mouth of Wappinger's Creek. A tunnel, 
1000 feet in length, through which the cars of the 
Hudson River Railroad pass, is to be seen just 
above the station. 

Po'keepsie 
Is seventy-five miles from New York, and the 
largest town between New York and Albany. It 
is built upon an eminence on the eastern side of 
the river. Settled by the Dutch in 1700. Pro- 
fessor Morse, of electric telegraph fame, and Ben- 
son J. Lossing, the historian, reside here. 

New Paltz, 
On the opposite side of the river, west, is a 
straggling little hamlet, of no special attraction. 

Hyde Park. 
This quiet little village, on the east side of the 
river, eighty miles from New York, is situated in 
the midst of a country of great fertility, and 
thronged with beautiful homesteads and sump- 
tuous villas. 

Eondout, 

On the western side, one mile from the river, on 
Rondout Creek. The Del aware and Hudson CasKil 
terminates here. The Rondout Creek is a singu- 
larly picturesque stream. 
13 



146 

Zingston. 
This town is situated (western side) on an ele- 
vated plain, three miles from the river. It was 
settled in 1663 by the Dutch. In the times of the 
Revolution it was burnt by the British. The first 
Constitution of the State of New York was framed 
and adopted in a house still standing at this place. 

Khinebeck 
Is on the opposite side of the river and con- 
nected with Kingston by a ferry. Barrytown and 
Tivoli are small towns, on the east, above. 

Saugerties 
Is a handsome little village, on the west, at the 
debouchure of the beautiful waters of ^sopus 
Creek. We now pass Maiden, on the left, and 
Germantown, on the right, and come to Oak Hill, 
a station on the railway for the opposite town of 

Gatskill, 
At the mouth of the Catskill Creek, on the 
west side of the river. The village, which is a 
pleasant and thriving one, rises from the margin 
of the creek to an elevated site on the north, 
where it is dissipated in many beautiful country 
villas. Catskill is chiefly interesting to the tour- 
ist, as the point of detour towards the mountain 
ranges which lie over the valley, twelve miles west- 
ward. The Mountain House, upon the brink of a

above the river, is in full view. In its pictorial 
attractions this is one of the most delightful points 
of our present tour, and we can commend to the 
traveller no pleasanter or more profitable summer 
excursion, for a day, or a month, than a visit to 
the Catskills, one of the grandest and most pic- 
turesque of the mountain ranges of the United 
States. 

Hudson, 

On the eastern side, one hundred and sixteen 
miles from New York, is one of the most import- 
ant river towns. Just above the landing a bold 
promontory rises eighty feet above the river, upon 
which there is a beautiful park. Hudson is the 
chief terminus of the Boston and Hudson Railway. 
Passengers for the Shaker village, at New Leba- 
non, and Lebanon Springs, thirty-six miles distant, 
by the Hudson and Berkshire Road, and the Co- 
lumbia Springs, only five miles distant, stop here. 

Athens, on the west, and Stockport, Coxsackie, 
and Stuyvesant, on the east, are thriving little 
towns. 

Kinderhook. 
The village is situated five miles east of the 
landing, on the east side of the river. Here the 
late Martin Yan Buren was born and died. His 
residence, " Lindeuwold," is two miles south of 
the village. New Baltimore, and Coyeman's, on 
the west, Schodack, Castleton, and Greenbrusb, on 
the east, brings us to 



149 

Albany, 

The capita' of the State, on the west. Albany 
was founded by the Dutch in 1614. It has a 
population of about eighty thousand. It is the 
great entrepot of the Erie Canal, from the west, 
and Champlain Canal, from the north, and is the 
centre of many lines of travel. The Dudley Ob- 
servatory, located here, together with its public 
institutions, make it an interesting stopping-place 
for the tourist. Travellers for Sharon Springs 
will take the New York Central Railroad here, 
stopping at Palatine Bridge, fifty-five miles from 
Albany. For Richfield Springs, take the Central 
Road to Herkimer, eighty-one miles distant. For 
Avon Springs, Central Railroad to Rochester; 
Trenton Falls, Central Road to Utica. Also, for 
Niagara Falls, Central Railroad direct, three hun- 
dred and five miles. 

Tioy, 

Situated at the head of navigation, is one hun- 
dred and fifty miles from New York, and a beau- 
tiful city of forty-five thousand inhabitants. It lies 
along the river for about three miles, and drops 
back a mile from east "^o west. It is a thriving 
city, with its large manufacturing interests ; also, 
a great railway centre. 

We will now accompany the tourist a little fur- 
ther north, to Saratoga, Lake George, and Lake

Champlain, observing, as we pass, the more promi- 
nent objects of interest. 

The ride from Albany or Troy to the Springs is 
a most agreeable one, as the route crosses and 
follows the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, as it 
passes Waterford, four miles above Troy, and near 
the Cohoes Falls, and thence continues upon the 
west bank of the Hudson, eight miles further, to 
Mechanicsville. It then crosses the canal, passes 
" Round Lake," and enters 

Balston Spa, 

Twenty-five miles from Troy. The mineral wa- 
ters at this place are not so popular as they were 
formerly, those of Saratoga being generally pre- 
ferred. Five miles distant is the Long Lake, a 
beautiful sheet of water, situated in the midst of 
charming scenery ; it is five miles long, and one 
wide, and abounds with fish. "We will now hasten 
on to 

Saratoga Springs. 

This is probably the most famous place of sum- 
mer resort in the United States, frequented by 
Americans from all sections of the country, and 
by foreign tourists from all climes. There is 
nothing remarkable about the topography or the 
scenery of Saratoga; on the contrary, the place 
would be uninteresting enough, but for the virtue 
of its waters and the pleasures of its brilliant 
society. The health-giving Springs, of which the 



152 

fame of Saratoga has been born were discovered 
in 1792, though they were long before known to 
and considered of value by the Indians. There are 
eleven Springs in the vicinity of Saratoga. No 
charge is made for the water, except what visitors 
voluntarily give those who wait upon them at the 
Spring. The " chief end of man" at Saratoga is 
to drink and to dance, — the one in the earliest 
possible morning, and the other at the latest con- 
ceivable night. Among the pleasures outside of 
Saratoga is a jaunt to Saratoga Lake, six miles 
away. Here is to be found nice boating, and 
sometimes " make believe" to fish. The Lake is 
nine miles long, and about three in width. 

A visit to Lake George is a delightful episode 
and variation in Saratoga life. Tjct us therefore 
take the cars to Moreau Station, fifteen miles 
distant, and thence by stage to 

Glen's Falls, 

Where we will stop and lunch. This is a pleas- 
ant village, nine miles from the Lake. This place 
is trebly interesting from its natural, its poetical 
and its historical character. The passage of the 
Upper Hudson here is through a rude ravine, 
with a descent of seventy-five feet over a rocky 
precipice nine hundred feet in length, which may 
be seen from the bridge in the village. When 
within three miles of Lake George we pass the 
storied waters of Bloody Pond, and near by is the 
historic stone called Williams' Rock, Near this

rock Colonel Williams was killed in an engage- 
ment with the French and Indians, September 8, 
1755. The slain (about one thousand) in this un- 
fortunate battle were cast into the waters near 
by, since called Bloody Pond. It may be passed 
unnoticed, without being pointed out, as it is sur- 
rounded by foliage. 
We are now brought, after a delightful ride, to 

Lake George, 

And stop at Caldwell, a little village at the head 
of the Lake ; one of the most lovely places imagin- 
able to spend the summer season. The Lake House 
and Fort William Henry Hotel are excellent 
places : the latter, a new and elegant structure, 
near the ruins of the old Fort on the right. 
About a mile southeast are the ruins of Fort 
George. These localities are seen from the 
piazza of the hotel, which commands also a fine 
view of the Lake, with its many islands. The 
passage of Lake George, thirty-six miles to the 
landing near the village of Ticonderoga, and four 
miles from the venerable ruins of Fort Ticon- 
deroga, on Lake Champlain, is very delightful. 

We will therefore bid good-by to Caldwell, at 
the head of the Lake, and proceed on our voyage 
down one of the handsomest and most delightful 
waters in the United States. The first object of 
interest which attracts our attention is Diamond 
Island. Here, in 1777, was a military depot of 
Burgoyr.e's army, and an encounter between the 



156 

garrison and a detacliment of American troops. 
Dome Island is passed in the centre of the Lake, 
twelve miles from Caldwell. General Putnam's 
army took shelter here while he went to apprise 
General "Webb of the movements of the enem^ 
at the mouth of the Northwest bay. About here 
IS one of the most beautiful parts of Lake George. 
Just beyond, on the left, is Bolton, with an inviting 
place of sojourn, called the "Mohican House." 
Just above, on the east side, is the bold semi- 
circular palisades called Shelving Rock. Pas- 
sing this picturesque feature of the landscape, we 
enter the '• Narrows" at the base of the boldest 
and loftiest shores of Horicon. At this point, 
Black Mountain rises, with an altitude of two 
thousand two hundred feet. Emerging from the 
Narrows on the north, we approach a projecting 
strip of land called 

Sabbath Day Point, 

So named by General Abercrombie, from his 
having embarked his army on the spot on a Sun- 
day morning. The place is remembered also as 
the scene of a fight in 1775 between the Colonists 
and a party of the French and Indians. Again, in 
1776. Sabbath Day Point was the scene of a battle 
between r.ome Americans and a party of Indians. 
As the boat passes the Point and the Summef 
Hotel at " Garfield's," Anthony's Nose is seen on 
the right, and on the left

TESTIMONIALS. 

" The "Waters Pianos are known as among the very best." 
N. Y. Evangelist. 

" We can speak of the merits of the Waters Pianos from 
personal knowledge as being of the very best quality.'' — 
Christian Intelligencer. 

" We have one of Mr. Waters' Pianos now in our resi- 
dence, (where it has stood for years,) of which any manu- 
facturer in the world might well be proud. We have always 
been delighted with it as a sweet-toned and powerful instru- 
ment, and there is no doubt of its durability; more thun 
this, some of the best amateur players in the city, as well 
as several celebrated pianists, have performed on the said 
piano, and all pronounce it a superior and first-class instru- 
ment. Stronger indorsement we could not give." — Home 
Journal.

Eoger's Slide, 
A rugged promontory four hundred feet high, 
with a steep face of bare rock, down which the 
Indians, to their great bewilderment, supposed 
the bold Major Rogers to have passed when they 
pursued him to the brink of the precipice. This 
pass is very much like that of the Highlands of 
the Hudson. Two miles beyond is Prisoners' 
Island, where, during the French war, those cap- 
tured by the English were confined ; and directly 
west is Lord Howe's Point, where the English 
army, under Lord Howe, consisting of 16,000 
men, landed, previous to the attack on Ticonder- 
oga. We are now approaching the termination 
of our excursion on this beautiful Lake, and in a 
mile we reach Ticonderoga, whence stages run a 
distance of three miles over a romantic road to 

Fort Ticonderoga, on Lake Ohamplain, 

This fortification, the ruins of which are visible, 
was built by the French in 1756. It was a place 
of much strength; its natural advantages were 
very great, being surrounded by water on three 
sides, and having its fourth covered by a swamp, 
and the only point by which it could be approached 
by a breastwork. It was afterwards, however, 
easily reduced by an expedient adopted by 
General Burgoyne — that of placing artillery on 
Mount Defiance, on the south side of the Lake 
George outlet, entirely commanding the fort, from 
which shot was thrown into the midst of the en- 



159 

emy's "works. Fort Ticonderoga was one of the 
first strongholds taken from the English at the 
commencement of the Revolutionary war. Colonel 
Ethan Allen of Vermont, at the head of the Green 
Mountain Boys, surprised the uaFJuspecting garri- 
son, proceeded to the bedside of the Commandant 
and demanded the surrender of the fort. " In 
whose name, and to whom?" asked the astonished 
officer. " In the name of the Great Jehovah and 
the Continental Congress," spoke the intrepid 
Allen. The fort was immediately surrendered. 
It was recaptured by the British two years after, 
and held during the war. 

After exploring the interesting ruins of this 
ancient fort, and dining at the excellent hotel 
which stands upon the margin of a beautiful lawn, 
sloping to the Champlain shore, the tourist may 
here proceed northward by steamboat, and view 
the many beauties of Lake Champlain,^ — to Bur- 
lington, Vermont, or Eouse's Point, and thence 
to Montreal, Canada, forty-seven miles distant by 
rail ; or return by boat to Whitehall, at the head 
of the Lake, and thence to Rutland and the 
East ; or return to Saratoga, by railroad ; or, if 
preferred, return to Caldwell in time for tea. 

We have thus far accompanied the tourist over 
many delightful places, and together enjoyed very 
many pleasant scenes, but now we must most 
respectfully part company, and confide to other 
hands the pleasure-seeker and tourist.
